Moments with James Nottingham: Insights from pig farming and how a trip to South Africa changed the course of his life.

Today I have the pleasure of sharing a snippet of a longer conversation that I had with the amazing James Nottingham. James Nottingham is the creator of the Learning Pit, one of the most widely used models for teaching to emerge in the last 20 years. He is also the author of 12 books, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and is listed in The Future 500, a ‘definitive list of the UK’s most forward-thinking and creative innovators’.

When I first started this podcast, I remember feeling so nervous about approaching guests. I was just a random teacher from Australia who wanted to change how teachers engage in professional learning. James was so kind, generous and welcoming and I remember feeling so out of my depth when he agreed to speak with me. This episode remains one of my favourites and his work continues to transform the way that I teach. 

I encourage you to listen to the full episode which is here.
